Vancouver. Wash.. March 21. "If

influence on the traffic situation, as
it would be the only road owing lta
sole allegiance to the Columbia river
basin." said J. N. Teal recently. "Un

We do not claim that any favors

deprive Portland of its natural rights
and advantages, preference being
given to other localities."
,. What Caused Decline.
It la rather interesting to trace the
decline of water shipments on the to
lumbia and the upbuilding of the power
and prestige of the railroads. The
first railroad construction of conse
quence Into the northwest followed the
South bank of the Columbia river,
This road on Septtimber 10, 1883, made
connection with the Northern Pa
clfic railroad at Wallula, the two
lines forming the first transconti
nental railroad having a terminus at
Portland. Oreat expectations were in
tiulged In when the Spokane, Portland
Seattle railroad was. built by the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern along the north bank ft the Co
lumbia river, and if this road had been
independent, me expectations woum
have been realized. Portland later be
came the terminal i'or three trans
continental roads from the east as
well as being the northern terminus
Of the Southern Pacific.
It seemed that Portland without be
stirring herself was bound to becom
the metropolis of the northwest. Her
f inonnl a 1 atfAncrtti Vi T natural arl
ventages and her trade relations were
such that the wealthy men of Portland

Bent Capital Away.
In fact, certain wealthy men
Portland who had made their money
in Portland publicly end cold-bloodedly
announced that they were putting all
of . their money into investments in
the Puget Sound cities, as they could
make a quicker turn over there than
in PortlandX I
...Vancouver Tias had the same ex-j
perlence. Men who have made their
money here in Vancouver, in place of
spending it here for the upbuilding
" of Vancouver, have put it out at in
terest in Portland and elsewhere.
In speaking of the belief of the
business men of Portland that with
4 inei-r natural advantages an tney naa
would come their way as it had in
the past. Mr. Teal wisely remarked
that it Is about time that Portland
. -and the other communities of the Co
lumbia river basin should realize that
self help is more effective than self
complacency.
There Is no question as to the natu-.
. ral advantages possessed by Portlands
. Vancouver and the other communities
along the Columbia river, but a gold
mine is of no particular value unless
you 'develop it. It rs time we made
active use of our natural advantages.
There was a time when full ad-
Vantage was taken of the Columbia
river, but that was before the coming
. of the railroads. It was at a time
too when many natural handicaps bad
to be overcome to make use of water
navigation.
rirrt Steamboat Day. '
' The first steamboat to ply the wa
ters of the Columbia above the Cas
cades waa a small iron propeller
called the "James P. Flint." Daniel
and Putnam Bradford had her hauled
up through the Cascade raplda in
.'. 1852 to ply between the Cascades and
. The Dalles. J. C. Alns worth & Co,
built a boat called the 'Belle" to run
up to the Cascades. Soon thereafter
J. C. Van Bergan put on the "Fash
ipn." , Then J. S. Ruckle built the
"Mountain Buck." In 1856 the Brad
ford' brothers put the "Mary"' and the
' "Wasco" on the run between the Cas
cades and The Dalles. The following
year there waa considerable agitation
. for a boat to be put on the Columbia
above The Dalles, but Captain Cram,
an army officer, showed that a steam
ier could not possibly run above The
Dalles so the matter was dropped.
- -in loos n. n. inorapson Duiit a
steamer, "The Venture," above the
Cascades, but the current was too
strong for its engines and it was car
, rled ver the falls and considerably
damaged. She was repaired and re-
i named the "Umatilla" and did good
service later.
During the winter of 1858 R. R,
Thompson and Lawrence. W. Coe built
s a steamer above The Dalles called the
- "Colonel Wright." Captain Cram -who
had declared that no steamer could
successfully - navigate the Columbia
above The Dalles, had to revise his
opinions, for the Colonel Wright not
only ran to Fort Walla Walla (Wal-
: luia) but ran up the river to Priest
. Rapids and also up the Snake river
. to Lewiston.
